  • Excellent experience! I’ve been coming to HHI for the better part of 20 years and this is BY FAR the coolest thing I’ve done on the island. Amazing how many and how close the dolphins come to the boat! Great tour with lots of information about the island, the wildlife, and the plantations. Something for everyone and the kids (6 & 9) loved it! Thank you! We will be back!
  • Our family of 8 (5 adults and 3 kids under 6y/o) had a blast on the dolphin tour mid afternoon. Captain Cody was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the ecology and local wildlife; he was also very patient and playful with the kids entertaining them when asked 137 things about mermaids. The tour went out during high tide which was nice cause we were able to go through different spots but this also meant the wildlife had way more options to explore. We were fortunate to see 4 dolphins that came pretty close up to the boat the kids absolutely loved it and we even saw a mink swimming up to a dock. The tour was a relaxing get together for the family on our last day of spring break. Would highly recommend!!
